The person below me

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not a beer drinker, and trying to be good as I kick the end of this flu...
TPBM has a nice, cool beard.

[theCryptofishist]

Thereby hangs a painful tale...
TPBM loves tracking down weird children's cartoons.

[Elorrum]

Yes, I like to find the cartoons I enjoyed as a weird child. I can't seem to recapture the feeling that any story that was animated was more fascinating than live action.

tpbm wishes that other decades could come back into focus as clearly as the first one.

[TomServo]

Nah, I think I've seen all of the 80's that I'd like to.

TPBM wants to make stilts right now!

[theCryptofishist]

I'll let you fill out this part....
TPBM wonders if people actually make feet and leg comments in the hope I'll reply.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Sometimes we miss you, Fishy.

TPBM is allergic to his/her own pet.

[theCryptofishist]

I have no pets.
TPBM is completely unsurprised that I now have a private fad involving an accordion-playing, soviet crocodile.

[Elorrum]

Gena? cool.
tpbm has to get up at o'dark thirty.

[theCryptofishist]

It's actually light at 6 am these days.
TPBM wonders why Nick Cave can't record a good song with crows in it.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Honestly, Fishy, I don't even know what that means. I have no idea whether or not I can accept the premise.

TPBM wonders why I didn't just Google Nick Cave and learn something.

[theCryptofishist]

No, not really. Since there are four (at least) songs with crows in them, and the absolute dreck two don't have crow in the title. It seems a lot of extra work to understand one of my little mental wrinkles. Although, it would be an interesting conversation to have with someone who knows his work.
TPBM knows just how much Mr. Sendak played along...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Sadly, I can't watch that video from here in Canada. Because stupidity. However, I think Sendak was a smart fellow, so I choose to believe that he was playing along with whatever Colbert was up to.

EDIT: I've read a few quotes from the Forbidden Interview, and it sounds like Sendak wasn't just playing along; he was conducting.

"Newt Gingrich is an idiot of great renown.... There is something so hoplessly gross and vile about him that it's hard to take him seriously. So let's not take him seriously."

On what it takes to cash-in as a celebrity on the book market: "You've started already by being an idiot. That's the very first demand."

Reaction to Colbert's children's book "I'm a Pole (And So Can You)": "The sad thing is, I like it."

On Colbert's drawing of a flag pole: "I would leave it alone because it has a kind of delicacy and irrationality and terrible quality of ordinariness."

On Colbert’s idea for a sequel to “Where the Wild Things Are:” “It is so bad that it not only will sell, but it will make pots and pots of money for you.”

TPBM likes the smell of lavender.... in moderation.

[jella]

I only inhale in moderation .


TPBM thinks of Grandma when they smell flap jacks

[Eric]

Nope, banana bread.


tpbm is calm in the middle of a storm

[Savannah]

Yep.

The person below me has specific targets when they buy candy by the pound.

[maryanimal]

Oh my yes! I love me some See's Candies. I have about 6 favorites and divy up the pieces to make a delicious pound. My favorite candy bar is a Baby Ruth however.

tpbm has the inner desire to learn tap dancing.

[Eric]

No dancing ever.


tpbm is disappointed that they can only get really good bite-you-in-the-back-of-the-throat olive oil from one vendor at one Farmers market.

[Sail Man]

Nah, I'm rarely brand specific. Whatever is on sale and what coupons I have usually dictates what I buy. With the exception of Cottonelle. It feels so nice and soft on my bungholio


tpbm prefers a bidet over tp.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm always afraid I'll drip into my underwear.
TPBM goes commando for that very reason.

[knowmad]

I commando for pure economic reasons!! every other week. same with T.P. but alternate weeks.

TPBM Has a cheap family member that really needs the "Talk".

[BoyScoutGirl]

More like, an entire branch of the family tree is proliferating beyond its means.

TPBM knows and adores Taylor Ham.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Nope. If it weren't for The Google, I'd still be labouring under the incorrect assumption that it was a person. There are a lot of famous Taylors these days, aren't there? Anyways, I've never tried Taylor Ham, but I'm only halfway a fan of ham in general. Sometimes it's the right thing, but usually I would prefer lamb or chicken.

TPBM doesn't eat animals.

[theCryptofishist]

I am a member of PETA--People Eating Tasty Animals.

TPBM is expanding her/his cooking skills.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I have been cooking a little more than usual, yeah. I wouldn't call them "skills" just yet.
Cooking spills, on the other hand? I've been excelling at those lately.

TPBM thinks most of the so-called clumsy are actually just careless.

[theCryptofishist]

No. I think we have denerative nerve diseases, possibly undiagnosed.
TPBM is constantly amazed at my ability to find the negative.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I like to imagine that you're employing "dark humour."

Speaking of dark humour, TPBM was/is a fan of M*A*S*H.

[MisaBlue]

Yes I am

TPBM knows what to say to TPBH

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not really, but I can make something up.

TPBM, I hope you took a moment to be proud of yourself. You know you have lots of things to take pride in, right? Now head on over to the bar Da Bar and have a drink. You deserve it! And, besides, the lovely and talented Ms. Misa Blue has probably concocted something delicious, just for you

[theCryptofishist]

I don't know what to say...

Except
The Person Below Me salutes the power of Hot and Sour Soup...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Oh, indeed. Haven't had it in ages, though... hmmm... might have to go questing for some!


TPBM can't eat food as spicy as he/she used to.
